- Summary Minutes: Special City Commission Meeting August 10,2010 Sunny Isles Beach, Florida when there has been a pollution problem, he asked the City Attorney to draft this resolution to establish a fact finding committee to primarily find out what is causing this pollution. The committee's purpose is to investigate and find out if there is a on-going issue here in the City that we are made aware of it and what we can do about it, and if there isn't an issue than we can just move on. He recommended that Vice Mayor Thaler, City Manager Conner, and resident Trina Duluc can form this committee and this committee can look into the problems that have occurred with the beach closing and report back to this Commission if there is a significant problem that they need to address more thoroughly. Public Speakers: none Commissioner Scholl said he would like to understand the testing procedures because he understands that they only test in three areas of the County and this happens to be one of those areas. The surrounding municipalities did not get spoken of in the newspaper, not only do we want to find out the cause, but we also want to be crystal clear about how the testing is performed and what the mechanism is for those decisions are as well. Commissioner Brezin moved and Vice Mayor Thaler seconded a motion to approve this resolution. Resolution No. 2010-1595 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. 5. DISCUSSION ITEMS 5A.
